Exploring Financial Performance Disparities: An In-Depth Analysis of Companies Led by Foreign-Born CEOs Versus Non-Foreign-Born CEOs Within the S&P 500

There is an increasing trend for companies to have foreign-born Chief Executive Officers. It was found that 101 companies in the S&P 500 had foreign-born CEOs. The purpose of this paper was to investigate whether companies with foreign-born CEOs exhibited better financial performance. The study adopted a quantitative approach. We gathered two datasets: one detailing the performance of companies with CEOs born in the United States, and the other delineating the performance of companies with CEOs born outside the United States. We utilized the T-test for the difference of means on these two sets of data. This statistical method allowed us to assess the variations in financial performance metrics between the two groups over a six-year period. The findings indicate that foreign CEOs consistently outperformed their domestic counterparts across all three studied KPI performance measures from 2018 to 2023. T-tests for the difference of means indicated that these results were statistically significant

Improvement in Accounting Students’ Perception and Judgment on Ethical Issues as They Progress Through the Accounting Curriculum

The present study used a series of questions to test students on their ethical awareness and judgment. The test was given to three groups of undergraduate accounting students at different levels of the accounting curriculum at a large state university in California. The test results from each group were tabulated based on correct or wrong answers for each question. Significant differences in the comparative percentage of correct answers among the three groups indicated that certain groups of students have better ethical perception and judgment compared to the other groups of students in the study

Karakterisasi Asam Lemak Hasil Hidrolisis pada Minyak Biji Kelor (Moringa Oleifera) dengan Metode Kromatografi Gas-Spektroskopi Massa

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui karakterisasi asam lemak hasil hidrolisis pada biji kelor (Moringa oleifera) dengan metode kromatografi gas-spektroskopi massa. Sampel yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah biji kelor kering dan basah. Sampel biji kelor diekstraksi menggunakan n-heksan untuk memperoleh minyak. Ditentukan bilangan asam dan bilangan penyabunan. Menghidrolisis minyak hasil ekstraksi dengan larutan KOH dan katalis H2SO4 menjadi asam lemak bebas, analisis asam lemak kemudian dikonversi menjadi metil ester dengan menggunakan pelarut CH3OH dan H2SO4 sebagai katalis. Penelitian ini menggunakan Kromatografi Gas-Spektroskopi Massa untuk mengidentifikasi asam lemak dalam sampel. Dari analisa Kromatografi Gas-Spektroskopi Massa yang telah dilakukan, asam lemak minyak biji kelor kering yang dihasilkan adalah asam laurat, asam palmitoleat, asam palmitat, asam oleat, asam stearat, dan asam arakidat. Sedangkan untuk asam lemak minyak biji kelor basah yang dihasilkan adalah asam palmitoleat, asam palmitat, asam oleat, asam stearat, asam eikosenat, asam arakidat, asam behenat, dan asam lignoserat. Dimana komponen terbesar metil ester pada biji kelor kering dan biji kelor basah adalah metil oleat dengan persentasi masing-masing 38,08% dan 38,84%

Asymptotic entanglement in 1D quantum walks with a time-dependent coined

Discrete-time quantum walk evolve by a unitary operator which involves two operators a conditional shift in position space and a coin operator. This operator entangles the coin and position degrees of freedom of the walker. In this paper, we investigate the asymptotic behavior of the coin position entanglement (CPE) for an inhomogeneous quantum walk which determined by two orthogonal matrices in one-dimensional lattice. Free parameters of coin operator together provide many conditions under which a measurement perform on the coin state yield the value of entanglement on the resulting position quantum state. We study the problem analytically for all values that two free parameters of coin operator can take and the conditions under which entanglement becomes maximal are sought.Comment: 23 pages, 4 figures, accepted for publication in IJMPB. arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:1001.5326 by other author
